It's not about names. Robert Mueller has one of the most recognized names in recent DOJ history, but that made him completely inappropriate for a variety of reasons for his appointment. And while I'd love to see someone like Tom Fitton or Larry Klayman, who would seem quite appropriate from their Judicial Watch fame, they would be considered too partisan and biased against certain counterparts.

The only stipulation should be they are not associated with current Washington D.C. politics. A previous state's Attorney General for example, who has a history of cleaning up dirty cops. There are plenty of people out there that they could find who would do an honest and fair job. And that's all we need, since they won't have too dig deep to find rampant corruption staring back at their face.

Au contraire. It matters very much who is named as special counsel or independent prosecutor. And the people whom they select to be part of his/her team. Naming a special prosecutor is predicated on the notion that someone outside the system and partisan politics is necessary in order to achieve a perceived fair result. The history of such appointments does not bode well.

Most, if not all, state AGs are elected and are members of a political party. Could you provide a name or names of potential candidates?
